  • NEWSLETTER September 2017, Issue 7
    NEWSLETTER September 2017, issue 7 Parish Council matters The Parish Council welcomes a new councillor, Sarah Sinclair, who has been co-opted following the resignation of Bernard Nix a few months ago. Sarah brings a new perspective to the Parish Council being the parent of school-aged children. There is an increasing number of young families in Purley on Thames, so it is important that they ‘have a voice’ on the council. We are really pleased Sarah is joining us. If you would like to find out more about what the Parish Council does and how it works you can speak to the Parish Clerk, to me or any of the other councillors or come as an observer to a parish meeting. The Parish Office sometimes receives information from local residents about speeding issues in Purley on Thames. When there are concerns about speeding the local community needs to collect speeding data then, when we have a picture of a problem in a particular area we can refer it to the Traffic and Road Safety Team at West Berkshire Council. To be effective at tackling excessive speed in this way, we need a team of Speed Indicating Device (SID) volunteers to gather the data. West Berkshire Council provides training for using the equipment and all volunteers must attend. We currently have three Parish Councillors trained with SID but you don’t need to be a councillor to do this and Purley needs at least six qualified people. The next SID training session is on 25th October 6.30-8.30pm in Newbury.

  • West Berkshire
    West Berkshire Personal Details: Name: Dominic Boeck E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: Local Government Boundary Commission for England proposals for West Berkshire Council Proposed Burghfield & Mortimer Ward Introduction I am responding in my capacity as ward member for Aldermaston at West Berkshire Council to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England draft recommendations for new ward boundaries across West Berkshire. LGBCE Draft Recommendations I am content with the proposal that the number of members elected to West Berkshire Council is reduced from 52 to 43. I consider though that the creation of three member wards, especially in the rural parts of the district, will diminish the effectiveness of representation presently enjoyed by residents and will not meet LGBCE’s expectations that a good pattern of wards will reflect community interests and identities and is based on strong, easily identifiable boundaries . The proposed pattern, especially in areas covered by such vast wards as the proposed Aldermaston and Bucklebury where it will be extremely difficult for members to be familiar with the unique local aspects and challenges across so many parishes, will not help the council deliver effective and convenient local government. Neither will the creation of large wards which combine substantial areas and population in both rural and suburban communities, such as Thatcham Central and Crookham and as Greenham which will bring its northern-most boundary into the heart of Newbury. Consultation response WBCA asks that LGBCE reconsiders its draft recommendations to make changes to the following wards, as suggested: • Aldermaston and Bucklebury • Hungerford and Kintbury • Basildon and Compton • Wash Common, Newbury Central and Greenham • Thatcham Central and Crookham • Purley and Tilehurst At the moment, Aldermaston ward consists of 5 parishes, three of which have monthly meetings, one has meetings every two months and one has two meetings a year.
